Consider MSRP, a little higher than actually what might be found.

What he said. ^^^
I did the build idea, and started pricing out parts. It was
cheaper to buy a DPMS LR-308 Oracle, and start swapping
parts. I stopped adding parts cost when it went over $1100
for basically the same rifle. I got the rifle shipped from
Bud's, to my FFL, and transferred, for $950. In your case,
looking for a 260 Rem. variant, this may not be the cheapest
path, but for me, looking for a 308/7.62 NATO, this was
the cheapest and fastest path to a new rifle. I have been
busy making upgrades, and other than DPMS stamped on the
lower, it doesn't look like the same rifle. Monday the
Troy Ind. FF tube shows up, and that should complete the
personalization...Well maybe not, it needs a grip upgrade
in the near future.
